Is there a certain demographic in your school or district with exceptional gains or losses in EXPLORE or PLAN scores? (Example: African-American/Black students are showing the greatest achievement growth, although at a lower level than the State avg.)

Of the four subject areas tested, do any stand out from the rest (scores increasing/decreasing; scores 1 point or more above or below?) (Example: Our school’s average English score is 2.1 points below the Reading score. Why is that?)

The Coursework Intervention report is a list of students that earned an EXPLORE/PLAN composite score at or below the national 10th percentile. The individual EXPLORE/PLAN test scores are provided. Great starting place for remediation.

This is a self-reported need for assistance roster. Students EXPLORE/PLAN test score as well as the self-reported “Area of Need” is listed. This report is useful for classroom teachers as well as school counselors.

The National EXPLORE and PLAN college readiness benchmarks are based on the ACT Assessment college readiness benchmarks. They reflect students’ expected growth from EXPLORE to PLAN to the ACT Assessment and assume sustained academic effort throughout high school.

The EXPLORE and PLAN Louisiana College Developmental benchmarks are based on the ACT scores required by Louisiana for entry into freshman college-level credit-bearing English and Mathematics courses. They reflect students’ expected growth from EXPLORE to PLAN to the ACT and assume sustained academic effect throughout high school.
